Built for solo travelers
Find travelers nearby.
Wave to say hi.
Check in, share your plan, and see travelers within 100m.
Wave is a gentle "is it
okay to say hi?" before you say hi in real life.
If you hit it off, take a selfie and keep the memory.
The first hello is the hardest part.
Solo travel is amazing — but starting a real-life conversation can feel heavier than it should.
Right people, wrong timing
You see travelers around you, but don't know if it's the right moment to say hi.
"Maybe I'm bothering them"
You want to connect but hold back, afraid of breaking someone's peace.
Screen over real life
You want to talk to someone, but end up scrolling on your phone instead.
From check-in to real-life hello.
Five simple steps to meet travelers nearby.
Check in
Share where you are and post your plan for the day. Your plan helps nearby travelers know what you're up to.
See travelers nearby
Discover travelers within 100m around you. See their plans and get a sense of who's nearby.
Send a Wave
A light signal that says: "Hey, I'm around." It's a gentle nudge — no pressure, no message required.
Look up and say hi
Meet in real life, not through endless chatting. The wave breaks the ice — you do the rest.
Take a selfie and keep the memory
If you hit it off, snap a selfie together. Keep the moment as a travel memory.
Wave is a gentle "is it okay to say hi?" before you say hi in real life.
Not another social app.
Solavello is designed around one moment: the first hello in real life.
Nearby, not endless browsing

A wave, not a DM
Send a light signal instead of a message. It says "I'm here" without any pressure.
Plans make hellos easier
Knowing someone's plan gives you a natural reason to say hi. "You're visiting that temple too?"
Memories after meeting
Take a selfie after you meet. Not before, not instead — after the real connection happens.
